hi again I'm Adam from engvid calm
today's lesson is going to be about
agreeing and disagreeing I know that
sometimes these get a little bit
confusing but I also I think I
understand why they get a little bit
confusing there are many ways to agree
okay so I'm going to look at these first
and then we will look at the ways to
disagree so first I think so too
two is a word used to agree so do I so
is also a word used to agree you have to
be careful not to mix this so and this
so are two different words this so means
pointing to something the thing that
we're talking about okay so don't mix
the two so again we have two two and
then very straightforward sentences I
agree I think so too etc now we're going
to look at these ones a little bit after
okay because this is where people get a
little bit confused I think so I'm going
to give you a statement and most of
these expressions are used to agree or
disagree with an opinion okay or some
everybody's talking these days about the
election in America so somebody says I
think Mitt Romney is going to win now if
you think the same if you think the
mineral Mitt Romney is going to win you
so means Mitt Romney winning good you
can also say so do I or me - or I do -
or I agree any of these will be fine
okay remember the soul comes before the
do the - comes after to do one thing if
you want to use one or the other
make sure you put it in the right place
you can you cannot say I - if you want
to use only the word - with me me too
I do too if you want to use the I - you
have to have the verb inside there same
with I think so - there's the I -
there's the I - there's a verb there is
the verb easy good easiest way to agree
is say I agree very straightforward now
some people say neither both are okay
choose which one you like either either
and the same so you can say me neither
this is very informal okay I'll put here
just so you remember it's informal don't
write it in a business situation or a
high-level meeting for example don't use
that I don't either or neither do I now
why do you think I put these three under
agree many people think but this is a
negative it means disagree doesn't it No
it also means agree but you agree with a
negative statement okay so if somebody
says I think Mitt Romney is going to win
but you don't think so you can't say
this you must go to your disagree list
okay but if somebody says I don't think
Mitt Romney is going to win you can't
use any of these either you must use
these so I don't think Mitt Romney is
I don't either neither do i okay so very
very important you're agreeing with a
negative but you are still green okay
very important to remember that you're
not disagreeing here you're agreeing
with a negative statement now if you do
want to disagree with someone someone
says I think Mitt Romney is going to win
but you don't think so you think Obama
is going to win you say the opposite I
Obama will win right so the easiest way
to disagree is just to say what you
I think differently I think something
else from what you think okay or very
simple I don't or I don't think so
that's the easiest way to disagree is to
say I disagree make sense right now this
is not only for opinions somebody well
it is kind of an opinion but it's a
little bit more of a judgement somebody
says I like apples do you say I think so
of course not you can only say I do too
or repeat the entire statement I like
apples too you can't use the soul for
like I like bananas so do i I like
strawberries me too I love to study
English I do to agree what is agree can
you agree with something someone likes
not really you can agree with in opinion
all of these you can use with any
statement agree usually with an opinion
now I don't like peanut butter some
people don't like it I don't like peanut
means I don't like peanut butter you say
you do I you say I don't like pizza I
but you don't like pizza maybe I don't I
or neither do I now for those of you who
are about to take TOEFL or IELTS I'll
give you another word I'll put it here
instead of using the word agree you can
say concur means you have the same
opinion or the same conclusion if you're
not taking the TOEFL or the IELTS don't
worry about this word you're not going
to use it very often okay and disagree
very straightforward the easiest way to
agree I disagree but somebody says I I
I don't like pizza the easiest way just
say the opposite easy ok but the main
thing I want everyone to take away from
this lesson is these three because this
is where the most mistakes happen ok so
be very careful about it positive
statement positive agreement negative
statement negative agreement if you want
then you're a whole different list of
words okay if you want to make sure you
